    MSI K8V Neo Platinum 1st time build

    Yesterday I read on another site to install one device at a time. That worked because when I took out all the excess hardware (not needed to get computer running) I noticed the back end of my SCSI card (which is as log as a good video card) was touching the northbridge? heat sink. Moved it to...

    MSI K8V Neo Platinum 1st time build

    Try remounting your HS/F - I know this sounds stupid, but my K8N Platinum refused to post and then I flipped the HS/F around 180 and it fired right up (and I still dont't see how its possible to mount it backwards) I haven't tried flipping the HS/F around 180 and answering your 2nd post Yes...

    MSI K8V Neo Platinum 1st time build

    Help, I just bought a K8V Neo Platinum M/B, an AMD Athlon 3400+ CPU, and 2 sticks of GEIL - DDRAM 512 PC-4000 GL5124000P RTL. I moved my ATI All-in Wonder Radeon - 7500 from my old computer to this new motheboard. My problem (I think) lies in either the ram or the video card? The computer...

    Can the motherboard cause this?

    When I boot up the computer it stops and won't go any further at the "Enter Password" window. I have to use the Ctrl-Alt-Del method to shut down the computer. As you all know the next window is the programs open (running) window and it is blank. I then reboot in safe mode and check...

    Thanks for the suggestion KGBMAN. I went back to 8/28/00 and restored that registry. It didn't fix the problem. When I restore an image using Power Quests Drive Image program it will replace all windows and all programs in the image including the registry. I have 3 older images and I've...

    Can't get pass Windows Splash Screen

    Three days ago I burned a CD for my Uncle. When I went to print a CD-Label for it the printer jamed up somehow. I fixed that and printed the label. I shut down the computer and went to work. The next morning I started the computer and the DOS screen was normal. The load sequence was normal...
